About Sam Sand Dunes
Sam village is on the edge of the Desert National Park. One of the most
popular excursions is to the sand dunes on the edge of the park, 42 km
from Jaisalmer along a very good sealed road.
It is best to be here at sunrise or sunset, , and many camel safaris
spend a night at the dunes. Just before the sunset jeep carrying loads
of day-trippers arrive from Jaisalmer to be chased across the sands by
tenacious camel owners.
Despite of the tourist hype, it is still quite a magical place, and it
is possible to frame pictures of solitary camels against lonely dunes.
The desert dung beetles are fascinating to watch.
